How long till you feel normal

Of course there is the typical post op recovery, but how long does it take until you feel "normal" again?

    FYI my doc said 6-8 weeks until the fatigue goes away. he didnt tell me this until after the surgery though! ;)

    I felt normal as soon as I was able to take in more than just liquids....which was week 3 for me! :)
